The Black Ink Clan speculated that Yang Kai should have been recuperating while he was in seclusion. After all, every time he appeared, he would be injured, but it wouldn’t take long. This human named Yang Kai seemed to have extremely powerful recovery abilities, so no matter how serious his injuries were, he would be able to recover in half a month.
According to the information revealed by the Black Ink Disciple, this kind of regenerative ability should be greatly related to his Dragon Clan bloodline, and the Dragon Clan’s regenerative ability was extremely powerful.
Half a month later, Yang Kai appeared again, and just like the Black Ink Clan’s speculations, he appeared in the neighboring territory near the destroyed Territory Lord Black Ink Nest.
Even though hundreds of Feudal Lords had been lying in ambush there, and even with the assistance of the Black Ink Disciple, they were still unable to resist the attack of a three thousand zhang long dragon.
Just like last time, the giant dragon destroyed the Black Ink Nest and a battle break out. Although he was heavily injured, he still managed to escape and disappeared.
Another Territory Lord Black Ink Nest had been destroyed.
For a time, the Black Ink Clan’s side was filled with resentment, and the destruction of the Black Ink Nest caused all the Black Ink Clans to unite against a common enemy. Many of the Feudal Lords secretly swore to kill Yang Kai and avenge their previous shame.
The entire void was filled with Black Ink Clans searching for Yang Kai, making it difficult for him to heal.
Even so, every ten days or half a month, there would still be a Territory Lord Black Ink Nest destroyed by Yang Kai. Facing the violent power of the giant dragon he had transformed into, the Black Ink Clan, which did not have any powerful masters, had no way to deal with it.
On this day, when Yang Kai once again transformed into a giant dragon and descended into the territory of a Territory Lord, five or six hundred Feudal Lords suddenly appeared in front of him.
Although Yang Kai had gained some benefits from this fierce battle, in the end, because the obstruction was too great, he was unable to approach the Black Ink Nest. Under the siege of hundreds of Feudal Lords, he didn’t dare to lower his guard, or else he would likely fail miserably.
With no other choice, Yang Kai could only temporarily retreat.
It had been almost half a year since Yang Kai destroyed the first Territory Lord Black Ink Nest, and during this time, he had destroyed at least ten of them.
In the past, even if the Black Ink Clan’s Feudal Lords used all their strength, they would still find it difficult to stop him, but today, he had actually returned empty-handed.
Seeing the giant dragon turn around and flee, many of the Feudal Lords were excited, some of them even daringly chasing after it, but in the end, Yang Kai managed to escape.
Although they weren’t able to capture Yang Kai, this was the first victory the Black Ink Clan’s Feudal Lords had faced against Yang Kai. With their hard work and effort, they had managed to secure a Territory Lord Black Ink Nest that Yang Kai had set his eyes on. This was a matter of great significance to the entire Black Ink Clan and was worth celebrating.
Compared to the Black Ink Clan’s celebration, Yang Kai was extremely unhappy.
During this recent period of time, he had taken action repeatedly. Although he had destroyed many of the Territory Lord Black Ink Nest and killed many Feudal Lords, he also felt that as he fought more, the resistance he encountered became greater.
Putting everything else aside, the number of Feudal Lords he faced each time was increasing.
Moreover, many of these Feudal Lords looked somewhat familiar. In other words, this was definitely not the first time he had seen them.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai quickly realized that these familiar-looking Feudal Lords were reinforcements from other territories.
His goal was clear, to destroy the Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest.
A territory covered by a Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest often had three or four hundred Feudal Lords gathered to guard it. Once it was destroyed by him, these Feudal Lords would reinforce the nearby Black Ink Nest. That was why he had encountered so many Feudal Lords today, so many familiar ones, all of whom he had fought before.
If that was the case, as the number of Black Ink Nest he destroyed increased, the resistance he would encounter in the future would definitely become greater.
Today, he had failed. After all, five or six hundred Feudal Lords had risked their lives to fight him, so even if he transformed into a giant dragon, he wouldn’t be able to break through. On the contrary, his body was riddled with wounds.
From the looks of it, this game was about to come to an end. If he continued to force his way through, something unexpected might happen.
Fortunately, he had already destroyed many of the Territory Lord Black Ink Nest and severely wounded the Black Ink Clan foundation. He had also looted a few of the Territory Lord’s territories and killed countless Black Ink Clan. This kind of result was extremely fruitful.
Although he was unwilling, Yang Kai still decided to retreat.
He was confident that after this mess he had caused, the Black Ink Clan of the Twilight King Domain would suffer great losses and would not be able to fully recover for hundreds or even thousands of years. Forget about everything else, just the destroyed Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest and the several dozen times more Feudal Lord Grade Black Ink Nest destruction were enough to make the Black Ink Clan feel pain.
Making up his mind, Yang Kai quietly began to heal.
This return journey was destined to not be peaceful. Not to mention the fact that he would definitely encounter the Black Ink Clan along the way, even the Black Ink Clan’s army outside Yin Yang Pass was a problem for him.
A few days later, Yang Kai, who was in the midst of healing his injuries, suddenly had a thought and transformed into his avatar in the Small Universe.
This was a beautiful place filled with mountains and clear waters. The three hundred Artifact Refiners that Yang Kai had recruited into his Small Universe had been placed here, but although they had been placed here, they could do nothing but meditate.
After all, this was Yang Kai’s Small Universe. If they were to use their World Force at will, it would only increase Yang Kai’s burden and even contaminate his own strength.
Everyone naturally understood this point, so they had been staying put these past few days, doing nothing.
However, after such a long time, they didn’t know what was happening outside, and Yang Kai had no intention of letting them out. Wu Xinghe and the others couldn’t help worrying about Yang Kai’s situation, so they wanted to ask him about it.
Therefore, when Yang Kai’s avatar appeared, Wu Xinghe and the others immediately gathered around him.
“Senior Brothers, is there something you need?” Yang Kai asked.
Wu Xinghe asked, “Junior Brother Yang, have we not returned to the pass yet?”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “We haven’t returned to the pass yet, I encountered a little accident. We’re still in the Black Ink Clan’s hinterland.”
“Still in the Black Ink Clan’s hinterland?” Guan Ning was surprised.
Wang Sibo also asked with concern, “What happened? Is there anything we can help you with?”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “The Black Ink Clan’s hinterland is filled with black ink clouds, so it’s best if you don’t go out, lest you get contaminated by the Ink Force.”
After all, Wu Xinghe and the others had severed their own cultivations and fallen from the Seventh Order to the Sixth Order, allowing Yang Kai to absorb them into his Small Universe. Now that their grades had fallen and their Small Universe was incomplete, it was even easier for them to be corroded by the Ink Force. As for the other Artifact Refiners, they could not be counted on, their cultivation level is only a Fifth or Sixth Order.
“As for what kind of accident I encountered… it’s not a big deal, it’s just that I’ve been destroying the Black Ink Clan’s Black Ink Nest recently,” Yang Kai simply explained what he had done recently, not because he wanted to take credit for it, but because he understood that these Artifact Refiners had been staying in his Small Universe all this time and didn’t know what was happening in the outside world, so they couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy, so he simply explained his recent actions to them, letting them know that it wasn’t that he couldn’t return to the pass, but rather that he didn’t want to return.
When they heard that Yang Kai had single-handedly destroyed so many Territory Lord Black Ink Nest and killed so many Black Ink Clan masters, many Artifact Refiners were stunned.
Instinctively, they couldn’t believe it.
After all, Yang Kai was only a Seventh Order. Although the Black Ink Clan’s rear was empty, even if an Eighth Order were to take action, they wouldn’t be able to accomplish such a feat.
However, they also knew that there was no need for Yang Kai to deceive them. In other words, these things had already happened.
Wu Xinghe and the others were all shocked and impressed.
After a long time, Wu Xinghe came back to his senses and asked, “Junior Brother, are you saying that if the Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest is destroyed, all of the Child Nest that originated from it will wither?”
Yang Kai nodded, “Yes.”
Wu Xinghe quickly calculated, “A single Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nest is connected to at least a hundred or so Feudal Lord Grade Black Ink Nests. If that’s the case, wouldn’t there be hundreds or even thousands of them destroyed?”
“Probably.”
Everyone gasped.
Wang Sibo asked in a trembling voice, “You also injured Black Abyss?”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, “That guy competed with me in terms of Divine Soul Power, but he didn’t know that I had the Soul Warming Lotus to protect me, so it could be said that he had found the wrong opponent. Unfortunately, although his Divine Soul was heavily injured, I don’t know where he is hiding now, so I can’t find him. Otherwise, I might have taken advantage of this opportunity to kill him.”
“Soul Warming Lotus…” Wu Xinghe sighed. He had naturally heard of this supreme treasure before, but he had never imagined that the only supreme treasure in this world would actually be on Yang Kai's hands.
With the protection of the Soul Warming Lotus, Black Abyss’ loss was not unjustified.
“In short, the Black Ink Clan has suffered heavy losses recently, but now that the Black Ink Clan’s Feudal Lords are all stationed near the Territory Lord Black Ink Nest, I can no longer easily destroy them, so it’s time to return.”
Hearing this, Wu Xinghe nodded, “Junior Brother, it’s more important for you to protect yourself. Since you’ve made such a great contribution at the Seventh Order, in the future when you break through to the Eighth Order, you will definitely become a pillar of our Human Race, so there must be no accidents.”
Yang Kai humbly replied, “Senior Brother is too kind.”
“If you find Black Abyss, how confident are you in killing him?” Wang Sibo suddenly asked.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before shaking his head, “I don’t know, but Black Abyss’s Divine Soul was damaged, so his strength must have been greatly damaged. If I really run into him, my chances of killing him is quite high. Why does Senior Brother Wang ask this?”
Wang Sibo hesitated.
Yang Kai’s heart jumped, “Does Senior Brother Wang have a way to find Black Abyss?”
Wang Sibo remained silent.
However, his current appearance had already explained the problem, so Yang Kai immediately said, “If Senior Brother Wang really has a way, why don’t you tell me about it? Although I destroyed many Territory Lord Grade Black Ink Nests, causing the Black Ink Clan to suffer great losses, the Black Ink Nest can still be hatched. It just needs some time and effort to operate, but if there is a chance to kill Black Abyss, it will be different. Black Abyss’s strength can be ranked in the top five amongst all the Territory Lords under Twilight Royal Lord. The value of a single Black Abyss far exceeds ten Feudal Lords, so killing Black Abyss will definitely be a heavy blow to the Black Ink Clan.”
Wang Sibo sighed, “I don’t dare say I can definitely find him, but I can try.”
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, “Please explain.”
Wang Sibo said, “Black Abyss has a protective artifact that I refined.”
TO BE CONTINUED...
So, he just casually spoke of the Soul Warming Lotus.
